Ok, so recently I keep getting this annoying error whenever I try to start any game, and even worsen to even when I restart comp, it will also hang, black screen a while and show that error.

Tried uninstalling display driver and installing older version.

Tried disabling nvidia audio drivers as per google.

Tried uninstalling geforce experience and other 3d driver thing.

All doesn't work, it will also frequently crash comp, and shows a red screen when it tries to restart comp.

Have seen reports on online saying that people have even tried clean install of windows etc and still does not work.

Ps: problem seem to appear throughout the years, have googled for results and seen people reporting it from 2011 onwards.

Anybody here has any solutions?

assuming that u did not have a water cooled system, try taking out the video card and use a blower to blow out the dust in the card and the PCI-e slot?

This issue is very common. Usually due to faulty component in the gpu card. Send for RMA. I had that problem in my previous gpu card. It made my browser, games, and even calculator hanged.

think more of software issue, had this issue intermittently, even rmaed gpu but also still got it, but after reverting back to an older driver, it worked.

now, i cross my fingers and pray whenever i update the driver. rollback if it happens and wait for the next update instead (or install the beta ones instead)

com always hangs when it happens but got no beeps and if i wait it out, the entire pc will become unresponsive, like 10-15 sec lag when trying to even move cursor.
